Not out (On Hold)

I would never willingly be an accountant

Hope POV
Knock knock. I get up off the floor and open the door

Rebekah: "Hey, we changed the reservation time to 6:30. And this is for Josie"

Hope: "Wait. We have to dress formal?"

Rebekah: "You're a Mikaelson, Hope. You should know this by now"

Hope: "Can we just go this one time without having to be fancy? I really don't feel like putting a dress on"

Rebekah: "It's to late for that, but on the bright side, you get to see your beautiful girlfriend in a beautiful dress"

I reach my hand out for the dress and she chuckles while giving it to me. I shut the door and set the dress on the bed then knock on the bathroom door

Josie: "What?"

Hope: "May I come in?"

Josie: "Why?"

Hope: "So I can give you something"

Josie: "Hold on"

I hear a little bit of shuffling before the door opens, revealing Josie with a makeup blender in her hand. My eyes travel from the blender, to her neck; which is hickey free; then stop at her eyes

Josie: "Your staring, like a creep"

Hope: "I'm no creep, Josette. I'm an admirer"

She rolls her eyes then turn around to double check her neck. I grab the dress then make my way back over to her

Josie: "Who's that for?"

Hope: "You. My family likes to be formal and fancy. Hope you don't mind"

Josie: "Not at all. It's beautiful"

Hope: "Beautiful dress, for a beautiful girl"

She blushes and thanks me. I kiss her cheek then shut the door on my way out. I open my closet and sigh then start, as I start looking for a dress. When I find one, I wait on my bed for Josie to come out. 20 minutes later she cracks the door open and asks if I could help with something. I walk in the bathroom and she has the dress on, and her hair is now curled. I stare longer than intended, but I don't look away

Josie: "So, can you do it?"

Hope: "Do what?"

Josie: "If you weren't to busy starring, you'd know. Can you zip up the back?"

She turns around and moves her hair out of the way. I slowly zip it up

Hope: "Can you blame me? I mean, look at you"

I turn her body towards the mirror and hold her from behind. I kiss her cheek then say "Gorgeous". She smiles and blushes. She turns and buries her face into the crook of my neck to hide it. I push her off and grab her chin softly. I tell her not to hide it because it's cute, but she pushes my hands away and tells me to stop

Hope: "Alright, alright. I need to get ready. Can you hand me the dress on my bed?"

Josie: "If I can get a kiss"

I peck her lips, to mess with her. She pouts which makes me smile. I lean in again but this time I actually kiss her. With a satisfied smile, she hands me my dress. I undress, then put it on. I put the top half of my hair in a bun and leave the rest down
